Hi Frank,

There are several places where server ip-adresses are stored in binary
format. Although I believe anything in RVM use the server-id numbers
specified in /vice/db/servers.

In any case, you will probably have to regenerate the volume lookup
database (VLDB).

On the SCM, run `bldvldb.sh', and maybe everything will work again.
